Malaysia Rejects Nepal's Proposal for All Manpower Companies

Kathmandu. The Malaysian government has rejected the proposal of the Nepali government to send workers through all licensed Nepali manpower companies. The Malaysian Ministry of Human Resources, in a letter to the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security of Nepal, clarified that it will continue its policy of allowing only the old mechanism, i.e., limited manpower companies, in the worker recruitment process.

According to the letter sent by Malaysian Human Resources Minister Dato Sri Ramanan Ramakrishnan to Labour Minister Ramji Yadav, Malaysia had discussed Nepal's request in its cabinet and held an in-depth discussion.
